Our modern surgical suite is fully equipped to handle a variety of soft tissue procedures for dogs and cats, from routine surgeries to complex treatments.


We understand that surgery can be an emotional experience for pet owners. That’s why our team, led by Dr. Sears, takes time to explain every step and ensure your pet is as comfortable and safe as possible.

Safe & Compassionate Pet Surgery in Columbus

Before any procedure, Dr. Sears will conduct a thorough physical exam and presurgical bloodwork to identify any potential health risks. This important step helps us customize your pet’s anesthesia plan and ensures a safe surgical experience.



During surgery, we use modern monitoring technology to track your pet’s vital signs, including heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure. Our sterile surgical suite meets the highest standards of veterinary care.

Our Surgical Procedures Include:

Spay (Ovariohysterectomy) – Helps prevent unwanted litters and reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections in female pets.

Neuter (Castration) –

Commonly performed on male pets to prevent overpopulation and certain behavioral and health issues.

Mass Removal  –

Safe and effective surgical excision of tumors, cysts, or growths, often followed by biopsy.

Cystotomy –

Surgical removal of bladder stones to relieve pain, urinary issues, or infection.



Dental Surgery –

Includes both routine cleanings and more advanced oral procedures, such as extractions.

We also offer custom soft tissue surgeries based on your pet’s specific condition. If you're unsure whether your pet needs surgery, Dr. Sears is happy to consult with you and offer professional recommendations.
